That's true, but isn't Chromium one of the largest and most complicated code bases in history? If you removed the drivers from Linux, which probably 99.9% aren't used in any specific hardware, then Chromium is far more LOC than the Linux kernel core even.


Chromium has so many LOC's of code and so much large in their size that it bypasses github limits.

What I mean by this is that github has a limit (in my understanding) on the sizes of public repos.

Chromium bypasses that & this is the reason why if you fork Chromium, you can get unlimited storage in github iirc

Github gets to start really wonky when you do this tho (iirc)

I can be wrong, I usually am but wanted to share this fact to just share the absurd scale of how large chromium is.
